And yes, nail polish will work.

Good luck with it!

Did the function test, it passed fine. But.... It would pass that before.
The range will be the only real test. That screw was off a bit! I'm sure I turned it in about 1 and 1/2 turns. I also tested it as Keith said and using two hands SLOWLY let the hammer come down wile holding the trigger in, no catches on the sear or hammer at all. Think it will be ok.

Interested to see if that fixed it. Good luck with it. Hold on tight when you pull that trigger the first time!

Oh I will! A Death Grip! I'll only load a couple rounds the 1st mag too.
I too am curious if this fixes the problem. If not, it goes back to Dan Wesson I guess.
I believe Keith knows what He's talking about.

Pleased to report!
 
I am Happy to report that the CBOB had ZERO failures today and NO Hammer Follow! Only 100 rounds of Federal 230 grain ball ammo, but that's a good test.
It passed! :)
By the way, any of you that are having Magazine troubles with your Dan Wesson Factory Mags, I had a couple that had Failure to feed on the last round on my VBOB, it had the stainless folllower witout a dimple. I ordered 2 followers from Checkmate, these are their Teflon Coated with a dimple. They worked flawlessly! Just call Checkmate, ask for Katherine, She was very nice and MAILED em to me . Had them in a couple days.
Toll Free 1-800-229-6467 Here's a link to the followers:

I plan to order 2 more so all my mags have that follower!
Hey, it was only about $19.00 for 2 followers, shipped via USPS 1st class mail!

Shouldn't it have been free since warranty?

Nope, the stainless followers were not " defective". This is considered an "Upgrade". I don't mind paying a little for a LOT better ones.

Good to hear she's running well!
